PT vs. OT vs. ST (in any combination) debates are not allowed in the New Movies forums. Discussions that descend into OT/PT/ST bashing/gushing will be subject to Mod action. Consider this your warning.

A generation? Really? So that whole generation of kids read Star Wars books, and they wouldn't have read if there hadn't been Star Wars books? I was in high school during that generation, and I never touched them. I did, however, read enough other books to make me want to become an English teacher. You're overestimating their importance.
